Typically, all boys will
meet with their Den (boys of the same age) 2 to 3 times per month, during which
time they will learn many skills and values they will carry with them for the
rest of their lives. Cub Scouting is much more than meetings though.

Pack 37 is a
very active Pack. There is a saying that "Scouting is Outing", and
that's the philosophy we follow. In the last year, our scouts have taken field
trips to the United States Military Academy at West Point and The Intrepid. We
also spent a night aboard the Battleship New Jersey. Those trips are in
addition to three camping trips per year and almost weekly events we have
planned at local parks or Nature Centers which allow our scouts to get away
from the video games and come to appreciate the great outdoors.

For the
upcoming year, we are planning an overnight trip to the Aquarium in Camden, NJ
for their “Shark in the Dark” program as well as a trip to the United States
Naval Academy in Annapolis. Click on the "Photo Gallery" link to see photos of past events.

In addition
to fun activities like field trips, we also emphasize service to our
community. We have a number of service
projects throughout the year. Our most
important project is “Scouting for Food”, where we collect non-perishable items
for the St. Teresa’s Food Pantry to feed the needy in our neighborhood.

In short, Cub
Scouts is the most educational, cost effective and FUN activity your son can
join. I hope you join us. Please e-mail me if you are interested.
